Dr. Loosen, Urziger Wurzgarten Riesling Auslese Mosel 2010

93 points Wine Enthusiast
"Smoke and violet florals add nuance to sweet quince jelly and yellow peach notes on this vibrant, mouthwatering Riesling. It's delicate in frame, but penetrates the palate with rich, juicy fruit and a shower of orange acidity that carries a long finish."

Jancis Robinson
"Very pale greenish straw. Very very pure, and pure seduction. So clean and inspiring. 18/20 points."

Vinous Reverie Notes
Auslese [OWS-lay-zuh] means “selected from the harvest,” and is a sweet wine made from very ripe clusters that are about 50 percent affected by botrytis. The resulting wine is dense, intensely flavored and rich on the palate, but balanced by Riesling’s naturally brisk acidity. The red volcanic soil of the Ürziger Würzgarten vineyard produces wines with precocious tropical fruits, a rich texture and a pleasingly persistent finish.
